This Striking Quilt Only Looks Hard to Make
Choose Your Favorite Charm Squares For Your Own Beautiful Version!
This stunning quilt is made from a super easy block that looks as though you spent a lot of time on difficult piecing. The block is a breeze to make, thanks to excellent instructions from Anita Grossman Solomon.
Karen Martin made this gorgeous quilt and provides instructions for how she stitched it together from Anita’s Arrowhead blocks. Two charm squares are used in each 4 3/4″ block, and Karen used up some of her ugliest charms leftover from another project.
Larger blocks made from fat quarters are just as charming. Decide on the block size you want and select charm squares or fat quarters from your stash, or cut pieces from larger scraps and fabric cuts to make your own version. Give it a scrappy look or coordinate around a color scheme. Whatever fabrics you choose are sure to produce an impressive-looking quilt.
